ABSTRACT

Paracetamol toxidermia is a rare occurrence in dermatology. Paracetamol is known for its analgesic and antipyretic effects and is widely prescribed for children and adults. The most frequently described adverse effect is liver toxicity. The occurrence of toxidermia after taking paracetamol remains possible but rare. We report three cases of toxidermia (two fixed pigmented erythema and one Lyell's syndrome) following a paracetamol intake in a Moroccan population.
